Figure F2. X-ray diffraction spectra of three grain sizes of cuttings from Section 345-U1415J-8R-1. The data show that phyllosilicates (green line) are preferentially fractionated into the clay-size sample relative to the coarser samples. Chl = chlorite, Tc = talc, Liz = lizardite, Am = amphibole, Pl = plagioclase, Cpx = clinopyroxene.
